Lower ramification groups of a local field extension #

For a finite Galois extension L/K of nonarchimedean local fields, the canonical lower ramification group consists of automorphisms acting trivially on the integer ring modulo the (i + 1)-st power of its maximal ideal. The integer index is total: at i ≤ -1 the group is the full Galois group.

This is the local field specialization of TauCeti.IsLocalRing.ramificationGroup. Besides the integer-indexed filtration, the file provides the real indexing G_u = G_{⌈u⌉} on which the Herbrand function is built, the largest jump of the filtration, and its compatibility with the subgroup Gal(L/K') ≤ Gal(L/K) of a tower L/K'/K.

The interval [-1, ∞), the domain of the Herbrand function and of its inverse. The lower ramification groups are indexed by real numbers u ≥ -1, and G_u is the whole automorphism group for u ≤ -1.

      The defining membership criterion of the lower ramification groups.

      The lower ramification groups are the superlevel sets of Serre's lower index i(σ) = min_{x ∈ 𝒪[L]} v_L(σ x - x): σ ∈ G_i exactly when i + 1 ≤ i(σ).

      Below the index 0 the lower filtration is the whole Galois group.

      @[simp]

      At nonnegative indices, the canonical lower group is the maximal-ideal ramification group.

      The inertia group is the whole Galois group exactly in the totally ramified case: G_0 = Gal(L/K) if and only if e(L/K) = [L : K].

      Eventual triviality and the largest jump #

      The lower ramification filtration separates the automorphisms of L/K.

      The lower ramification groups are trivial from some index on.

      The largest jump t of the lower ramification filtration. For a nontrivial Galois group it is the largest index with G_t ≠ 1, so that G_t ≠ 1 and G_{t + 1} = 1 (lowerRamificationGroup_largestLowerJump_ne_bot and lowerRamificationGroup_eq_bot_iff); it is at least -1 because G_{-1} is the whole Galois group. When L ≃ₐ[K] L is trivial every G_i is trivial and there is no jump; the value is then -1 by convention.

      Instances For

        For a nontrivial automorphism group, the lower ramification group at the largest jump is nontrivial.

        @[simp]

        For a nontrivial automorphism group, G_i is trivial exactly past the largest lower jump.

        Real indexing #

        The lower ramification filtration indexed by a real number through the ceiling, as needed by the Herbrand function: G_u = G_{⌈u⌉}, a step function constant on each interval (i - 1, i].

        Equations
        Instances For

          The real-indexed lower ramification group at u is the integer-indexed one at ⌈u⌉.

          Membership in the real-indexed lower ramification groups.

          When Serre's lower index of σ is the natural number n, σ ∈ G_u exactly when u ≤ n - 1.

          The real-indexed lower filtration is constant on each interval (i - 1, i].

          Breaks of the lower filtration #

          A lower break: the ramification group at u is strictly larger than the group at every later index. Since lower numbering uses ceilings, its breaks occur at integers.

          Instances For

            A lower break is a strict drop of the lower ramification group at every later index.

            Every lower break occurs at an integer index.

            @[simp]

            At an integer i ≥ -1, a lower break is exactly a strict decrease from G_i to G_{i+1}.

            @[simp]

            For a nontrivial automorphism group, G_u is trivial exactly for real u past the largest lower jump.

            Every real-indexed lower ramification group is normal in the Galois group.

            Compatibility with subgroups #

            For a tower L/K'/K, the group Gal(L/K') is the subgroup H of Gal(L/K) fixing K', embedded by AlgEquiv.restrictScalarsHom. Its lower filtration is the trace of that of L/K: H_i = H ∩ G_i.

            An automorphism of L/K' lies in the i-th lower ramification group of L/K' exactly when it lies in that of L/K after restricting scalars.

            Compatibility with subgroups: the image of the lower filtration of L/K' in Gal(L/K) is the trace H ∩ G_i of the lower filtration of L/K on the image H of Gal(L/K').
